L.A. area cop seen on video punching handcuffed woman twice in face

A Westminster Police Department officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after cellphone video showed him punching a handcuffed woman twice in the face, CBS Los Angeles reports.

Police said a caller reported at about 4 p.m. Wednesday that a Hispanic woman had assaulted an Asian woman who'd tried to rescue a dog running in the street.

Neighbors said the Asian woman and Ciomara Garcia exchanged words over Garcia's unleashed dog, then Garcia put a hand on the woman's arm.

"I think they could do a better job since they already have a history with her, they already know her.".

One of the officers, who hasn't been identified, then punched Garcia twice in the face, according to the department.

Sandy Armento, who lives across the street, shot cell phone video of the altercation that's been circulating on social media.

"The Westminster Police Department is well aware of portions of the video circulating on social media," the department said in a statement. »
